Six of the best gay men of color on television

From Logo to CNN to Bravo we are seeing more diverse representations of gay men on television. These images are creating a realistic view of what it means to be a gay person in America. In addition, these faces are openly gay, not just gay for TV. Check out some of the best (and hottest!) gay men of color on television.

Keith Boykin

Keith Boykin is that cool mix of sexiness meets brains. The former White House aide to President Clinton is now host of the BET TV show "My Two Cents" and a frequent commentator on CNN's "Paula Zahn Now". To top it off Keith is a bit of jock -- he won a gold medal in wrestling at the 2006 gay games!

Doug Spearman

Doug Spearman is one of the only "out" cast members on the Logo series Noah's Arc and we are glad he is. The forty-four year old and very sexy actor helped to balance out the show's sometimes single men with his happily-married character Chance. Even though Noah's Arc was not renewed for a third season, you can catch reruns on Logo and there is a film in the works.

Jai Rodriguez

Jai Rodriguez is a part of one of the most popular gay television shows in history, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Since 2003, Jai has wowed us with his advice on culture and adding that extra flair to the Queer Eye ensemble. However, Rodriguez is not just a cultural guru. He is also a musical talent, having played roles in the Broadway musical Rent and the Off-Broadway musical Zanna, Don't! In addition, you were able to catch him singing duets with the likes of Gladys Knight on Celebrity Duets in 2006. This upcoming season of "Queer Eye" is the last installment of the Fab Five, but I am sure we will be seeing more of Mr. Rodriguez in the near future. Check out a candid interview Jai did with AfterElton over a year ago.

Quincy LeNear and Deondray Gossett

You may not see them on television, but they are on television. They are the creators and directors of the here! TV series The DL Chronicles. Quincy and Deondary have been a couple for over ten years and managed to bring a unified vision of a different take on the "DL" to the masses. Also, they happen to have the best taste in other hot men to put on the screen! For more on The DL Chronicles check out http://www.dlchornicles.com.

Wilson Cruz

At this point we might as well call Wilson Cruz a legend, even though he is only 33-years-old. He has been on television since 1994 with My So Called Life and is currently starring in the new Logo animated show Rick & Steve the Happiest Gay Couple in All the World. Cruz is definitely one of the best and hottest men of color on television. For nostalgia's sake check out one of our vintage interviews with Wilson Cruz.
